How secure is the information in your organization?
Do you really know? That is the question that everyone should be asking. Most assume that their information is secure, but is it?

In today's fast paced world, sensitive and valuable information is accessed on a continuous basis. This ranges from financial records of large corporations, mortgage information for your neighbor's home, or your insurance billing information. Information that you assume will be protected from unauthorized users. So what is the problem?

Securing all those applications
The FTC and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) issued the Safeguards Rule to require financial institutions to safeguard customer records and information from internal and external threats. The rule applies to all individuals and organizations that are engaged in providing financial products and services. The fastest, easiest and most effective way is to institute the technology found in Version3 Simple Sign-On.

The problems with most organizations are, the applications that manage the information and the required application logon names and passwords. The technology that is supposed to secure the information can be the very cause of what makes them "un-secure." How many applications do financial institution employees need to provide logon information for, in order to perform their daily duties? The answer is too many!

The Problem Defined
Security and support cost issues are large expenditure considerations for most organizations and who should understand that more than a financial institution. The cost is not just due to time lost by employees that are not able to logon or the cost for support, but ultimately the cost could be more dramatic when security is compromised and an unauthorized person gains access to sensitive information.

The Support Dilemma
Application support is a major cost in every organization and the financial services sector is no different. The typical user cannot begin to remember the logon information for all of their applications. This is especially true when the applications in use change frequently. Invariably the user will forget how to access and logon to their applications, especially those that are not used on a regular basis. So like any good employee, they will immediately call the helpdesk to assist in accessing the application.

Version3 Simple Sign-On is a complete Application Access Management solution that can solve those security and support cost issues.
